ALL OF OUR STUDENTS PROGRESS ONTO ONE OF THE FOLLOWING AFTER COLLEGE: 3 WORSLEYCOLLEGE HISTORY OF THE COLLEGE

CELEBRATING OVER 100 YEARS

In 1919, Worsley Technical School opened its doors to the local community. It was the first college in the country to offer professional development and training opportunities for apprentices who were learning their trade across the city. A department for secondary education was introduced in 1929 and the addition of Worsley Junior Technical School ensured that local people were supported to develop their skills at all ages.

In 1954, in response to national educational reforms, the college was renamed Worsley Technical College. The Junior and Secondary School was separated and the college began its journey as the provider of further education courses in the area.

In 1963, Worsley Technical College was renamed Worsley College of Further Education and went through a period of significant renovation and extension. In 1965, specialist rooms were added to support students to develop skills and gain qualifications in dressmaking and hairdressing and the college building was completely modernised.

In 1990, College was formed and Worsley Campus (formerly Worsley Technical College) was born. In 2009, five colleges in Salford merged to become Salford City College and Worsley Campus became known as Sixth Form Centre.

On 21st April 2018, the Young and a student at the college, Kayleigh Peacock, and the former Ceremonial Mayor of Salford, Peter Connor, (pictured right) declared that henceforth Walkden Sixth Form Centre would become known as Worsley College. This was a wonderful occasion supported by current students, staff, and members of the local community.

Unfortunately, since then, Peter has sadly passed away. However, his legacy still lives on within the heart of Worsley College.

The words etched in the stone of our oldest building at Worsley College ‘Non Nobis Solum’ or ‘Not for ourselves alone’, epitomise and celebrate the success of every single student who has studied at the college over one hundred years of its delivery of educational opportunities.
